This past couple of weeks I have been thinking a lot about how I show up for the MoT EM Chapter community. I love asking questions and I love books, so I decided to ask a question about books to se...

Governance image
  • Stuart Thomas's profile image
The policies, processes, and guardrails put in place to ensure that code, experiments, and tools produced across a team meet standards of safety, consistency, and reliability, especially as AI lowers the barrier to building. The question is no longer about engineering capacity, but Governance. The teams that win will be those that create the safest “Playgrounds”. The teams that win won’t write the most code — they’ll create the safest environments for everyone to build in.
Ephemeral Code image
  • Stuart Thomas's profile image
Short-lived, AI-generated code designed to be deleted after use, typically for running experiments such as A/B tests on a component or call-to-action, with Engineering providing guardrails through a component library and code review.
Disposable Code image
  • Stuart Thomas's profile image
AI-generated code used for internal validation and testing core logic during the "can we even do this?" phase. It lives in a sandbox and never reaches production; if it works, the learnings are handed to Engineering to be rebuilt properly.
